I’m here, sandwiched between my dad’s appointments, and with a procedure last Thursday and another on Friday, between those too.
Outside, though, it’s sunny and warmer than late October might normally be, and how I’m doing is up for debate.
Before I get any further, thank you so much, Gail, for the coffee!! Thank you for checking in, I appreciate it so immensely. I definitely need the boost, coffee is on of the very best things lately. Thank you.
My dad is under the care of a vascular surgeon who talks like a sudden summer gale, the words strong and fast and indifferent to debris, but is kind enough that he personally walked me to the waiting room for last week’s thing. I trust him now, though, he has a plan.
That, I think, is reassuring.
So it’s been the kind of week I don’t actually remember and in the midst of it all the new new freezer also just…stopped working. Yes, another total loss, but this time it’s Abt and when the technician came and said they can only fix it if they catch it in the act, my dad called Abt and they said they’d exchange it for a new one.
A very different experience.
We also ordered a temperature monitor/alarm. Whatever gremlin it is that is trying to give us food poisoning, I plan to nab it wet-handed.
Because the stuff melts. And gets soggy. Eh you get it.
I can’t tell you how often I’ll be posting this week. I will say that sitting here and chatting with you, even if it’s all about me today, feels pretty cathartic. But as someone pointed out, I am short of spoons, as I forgot to run the dishwasher (though I did, literally, forget to run the dishwasher), so it will be a day to day kind of thing I think.
Right now it’s going in the plus column.
And I know I have probably missed a ton while down my personal rabbit hole, so I’m going to try to see what I can see, but feel free to update me, I’d like to poke my head out for a while.
Anyway, that’s it for me on this Monday. I hope you are doing well, and have a truly great day with an excess of spoons.
